| gptkbp:quote |
“ History is not a mere record of events; it is a record of the struggles of people.”
“ To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.” “ We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” “ You can’t be neutral on a moving train.” “ The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically.” |
